Review summary

It was such a great experience to visit so many islands in such a short amount of time. I was however very disappointed with the lack of variety of food at the buffet. Also the casino not a lot of opportunity for guest to win anything which is not fun at all.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food choices were subpar not great at all. My boyfriend and I were both sick usually after eating any meal. It would pretty much run right through us. I was expecting more variety on the ship being I have been on other ships. This was my very least favorite.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The adult only area was great only because it was more relaxing then being in the congested areas. Comedy was available the entire cruise but was good. The club the music was bad and not exciting or enjoyable. Was disappointed there were no outside movies on the lido deck as some other carnival ships have.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Not very great at all. Big disappointment. Even the casino was very small and didn’t pay out at all. Knowing all the money customers have spent to travel and vacation not even a small payback.

I was disappointed to know there was no in room fridge available. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

The ports are the great part of the cruise. Explore the different countries and eat as much as you can on the islands.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Did a tour old San Juan and other parts. The food and culture was divine.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5
It was okay. Didn’t really venture off to far. There was a bar near the dock tried to get a drink and pretty much was denied. It was like they just stared at us and never moved.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Jet-skies and went to the beach. The ferry to the beach was great and affordable.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We did find some locals that offered a tour around the island. It was amazing and worth the money. Beaches were beautiful and got to try the local food.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
The hills! The ride to the destination and back to the port! You need to have a strong stomach but it was a great experience.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Barbados is beautiful

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
